Benzidine (4,4′-Diaminobiphenyl) is an environmental genotoxin that posses increased risks of cancer to exposed people. Benzidine may be used as a reference material in procedures that analyze for benzidine. Benzidine can be used in studies on its mechanisms of genotoxicity.

Initiates tumors in the bladder under experimental conditions.[1]
Strongyloidiasis is a persistent human parasitic infection caused by the intestinal nematode, Strongyloides stercoralis. The parasite has a world-wide distribution, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions with poor sanitary conditions. Since individuals with strongyloidiasis are typically asymptomatic, the infection can
Benzidine oxidative activation may proceed by peroxidase-catalyzed one-electron oxidation via free radical intermediates, or by N-acetylation followed by monooxygenase-catalyzed N-hydroxylation. The peroxidase route has been examined by using horseradish peroxidase or prostaglandin H synthase in vitro. In the presence of
The aromatic amine benzidine (BZ) has produced various tumors, including liver tumors, in mice, rats and hamsters. BZ forms DNA adducts in rodent liver, and it is positive in most genotoxicity tests. Only bladder tumors are produced in dogs and

The yolk sac is the first site of blood-cell production during embryonic development in both murine and human. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), including HSP70 and HSP27, have been shown to play regulatory roles during erythropoiesis. However, it remains unknown whether
Cancer research has revealed that the classical model of carcinogenesis, a three step process consisting of initiation, promotion, and progression, is not complete.
